Finding Your True Calling Through Life's Darkest Moments | Parker J. Palmer

Finding Your True Calling Through Life's Darkest Moments | Parker J. Palmer

Parker Palmer shares how three seasons of profound depression led him to a surprising discovery about authentic living and finding your true calling.


Through intimate stories of his journey from academic to activist to spiritual teacher, Palmer reveals why embracing our shadows and letting go of who we "should be" opens the door to who we truly are. His gentle wisdom offers hope and practical guidance for anyone questioning their path, facing inner darkness, or seeking to live with greater purpose and meaning.
